 Took this image of Trump Tower as I was coming out of the subway station. I like the perspective, and I like the light glimmering off the metal. I was using a really high ISO - forgot to reset my camera from previous shoot. I initially thought this is what contributed to the glimmers, but another DPCer explained it has more to do with my aperture rather than ISO. Shows how much I still have to learn about photography.

I shot in RAW, cropped, reduced noise, USM, converted to greyscale - duotone, processed in duotone using gold and black, resized for web, reduced noise again.

the glimmer came from using such a narrow aperture, not high ISO.

Great points of light. More contrast could add more interest too.
